For a while now, folks have been asking for various cloud storage support options in Déjà Dup. Options like S3, B2, Dropbox, Proton Drive, etc.
I’ve resisted adding support in a piecemeal manner, preferring to stick to the consumer cloud options that GNOME also supports. But now that Déjà Dup relies on Rclone internally for cloud connections, it seemed easier to support a wide world of options without too much UI fuss.
As of now in the nightly builds, you can help test support for any Rclone remote. Go to your preferences, choose Rclone as your storage location and enter a remote and folder.
Note that we support an encrypted config file too - we’ll prompt for the password with an option to save it in the keyring.
Thanks for any testing you can manage! And even if you don’t, you can play with it when 48.0 comes out.
